Tulane will join Big East for all sports

I'm not sure what the Big East looks like anymore... and I follow this stuff closely.

lol. Will be an assume natural rival with Boise State

Crazy. The big East will eventually be all cusa teams.

I have no idea what's going on anymore. This came out of nowhere.

Is the BE going to have like 30 basketball members?

And of course this is all dependent on whether the ACC stays around and steals some Big East members, or if half the ACC bolts and what's left joins the BE.

It's a bit humorous that Memphis finally got moved up to a BCS conference, right as it went to crap and they started letting in just about anyone.

Now that Notre Dame is splitting, the basketball only schools need to seriously think about getting away from the mess that football is creating.

I agree. I know they they want to keep the BE name because of recognition, but the BE needs to become a basketball only conference and let the football teams have a totally different football conference.

Hilarity ensues...

Apparently East Carolina will be joining as a football-only member in 2014.

Good God...

lol....

Instead of giving the Big East's AQ status to another conference, can they just vote to eliminate it altogether?

They'd probably seriously consider you right now.

It's like the dot-com boom in the 90s, just show up saying you want to be a football only member.

4 major 16 team conferences.

Then one giant 60 team conference for everyone else.

Boise St needs to back out

I can see Boise & UTEP in the MWC. Houston should take a look that direction too.
